Jamaican international Sean 'Matterhorn' Fraser is set to make his debut in El Salvador's top football competition this weekend, the latest stop for the well-travelled Reggae Boy.

Fraser, a former Harbour View and Portmore United player, who has also plied his trade in North America, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and Brazil, recently signed a one-year deal with Once Municipal, which was recently promoted to the country's Premier Division of the Liga Futbol Profesional.

The quick, skilful, attacking 28-year-old midfielder/forward, who played for Jamaica in the 1999 Under-17 and 2001 Under-20 World Cups and has several senior national caps, has impressed his new club so far, scoring seven goals in four practice games. He claims he has fit in with his new environment in the city of Ahuachapán and is impressed by the club's standard of play.

"Definitely," Fraser said, days before Once Municipal opens its season at home on Sunday.

amazing talent

"The difference in talent is amazing. I didn't know what to expect, but after the first practices and the practice games I realised the standard is very high. It's the best club football I have played, except in Brazil."

In 2006, Fraser was sent on loan by his then club Miami FC of America's United Soccer Leagues (USL), where he was coached by World Cup winner Zinho and played alongside Brazilian legend Romario, to Boavista, which competes in Brazil's Campeonato Carioca competition. There, he played against some of the biggest teams in the football-mad South American country.

Fraser's professional travels have also taken him to Puerto Rico Islanders of USL and North East Stars in Trinidad, where he played last season. He has been on trial with pro teams in Europe and North America, and said he was offered a three-year deal with the Minnesota Thunder of the recently re-formed North American Soccer League (NASL) last year, but declined.

"Financially," said Fraser, "it wasn't good."

He chose instead to play in Trinidad. But although Fraser called last season "a success", and he was willing to sign a contract extension in June, he eventually turned it down, calling the deal unsatisfactory.
